I don't weep because I am sad to no longer have him in my life
I weep in response to what he stood for
He was a symbol of the innocence of my childhood and the discoveries of my adulthood.

I don't weep because he has used me, has betrayed me, and has moved on to another
I weep because today I feel that I am not yet ready to move forward to being an adult.
Being an adult would mean losing the ability to just not care anymore

I don't weep because I am not happy with my current life
I weep because I am filled with joy and hope again that sparks me to press forward.
Something I had lost when I was with him that I have now regained.

I don't weep at the idea that he is irreplaceable
I weep because I know that nothing is the same and that life is ever-changing
I lived a life of stability filled with madness, now I welcome the change my new lover brings to my life.

I don't weep because I am afraid of being alone
I weep because I am finally no longer afraid of being alone
I have now found my true love and a partner for life who is everything that I could ever want

I no longer weep because I am truly blessed.
